Morning Glory Muffins

Here is a recipe I created that will make your morning more glorious...

If you want to sub spelt flour for the all purpose flour, go for it!  Or maybe sub coconut oil for the vegetable oil.  You could also experiment with lessening the white sugar and subbing with a bit of maple syrup or honey.  As usual, I encourage you to play with your food, be creative and have fun!

And of course make every morning, glorious!
